Just a part of my humble island. Road towards the mountains and my village Valsequillo. 
Valley and sheep 
This valley will not be green in a month or two, it will dry into a yellowish-brown colour, its only green during winter. 
All of you who have been reading my blogs will remember the sheep ...'ding...ding...ding'
Rotonda or a round about, a note to my dear friend Edd, I promised some photos on architecture 'style' of the island, if it can be called that at all, not only did I go '..duh..' and speechless, but I also came to a conclusion that people build whatever 'fits' the plot of land they have /small-island-no-land-to-expensive/ and another fact is who ever wanted to finish architecture in the Peninsula / Spain and couldn't...they came to the Canary Island and did it...so I guess they are still practising...and it can hardly be called 'architecture' at all..***sight***most of these attached houses have rooms with no windows at all, only the rich and lucky ones who have a larger plot of land can afford 'windows' to all of their rooms. 
No water / all houses have water tanks on their roofs....water can be as expensive as electricity, and btw the island gets its electricity 70% from the wind mills on the East Coast.
Mirador, or a mountain with a view, next photos show the view from there towards the sea and towards the mountains 
I have spoken in my previous blogs about the BARRANCO / WADI / CANYONS...where some thousand of years back lava use to flow, some 50 years back women used to wash clothes there, and today, just a small stream forms if luckily we had enough rain during the winter months....thats when they take children on excursions to show them 'what a stream is ? !!! 
This doesn't look so bad kinda 'rural' but ok... and for the end of this humble photo show just a butterfly... 
Hope you all enjoyed...CIAO!
